Department of Surgery
Overview
The "Department of Surgery" refers to a hospital or medical center's division responsible for providing surgical care to patients. This department encompasses a wide range of surgical specialties.
The Department of Surgery focus on diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions requiring surgical intervention, whether due to illness, injury, or other health conditions. We are using a patient-centered approach, focusing on the individual needs of each patient throughout their surgical journey, from pre-operative preparation to post-operative recovery.
At Neem Hospital we are using cutting-edge equipment and technology to enhance surgical precision, reduce recovery time, and improve patient outcomes.
The different subspecialties closely work with other medical specialties (e.g., oncology, radiology, internal medicine) to provide comprehensive and coordinated care for patients with complex conditions.
